Take These Longevity Supplements All the Time
Longevity Supplements for All Ages
In this video, the speaker discusses different supplements that can be taken at all stages of adulthood to improve functional outcomes of longevity and health span.
Collagen
- Collagen is important for maintaining joint health, reducing symptoms of osteoarthritis knee pain, improving skin hydration, and reducing visible wrinkles.
- Collagen degradation starts in your 20s. Women have slightly less collagen than men but both genders will benefit from increasing their collagen intake.
- Taking collagen for the sake of joint health is important for longevity.
Creatine
- Creatine is considered a sports performance enhancing supplement but also has anti-aging benefits for the elderly.
- Individuals with pre-existing kidney damage or renal failure should not take creatine.
- Creatine can be taken at all stages of adulthood starting when you reach adulthood.
Glycine
- Glycine improves glutathione levels which is more important for the elderly who have low growth hand levels.
- Glycine can still be very beneficial in youth for things like joint health, skin health, lowering blood sugar, improving sleep and making you more relaxed.
- Glycine has potential longevity benefits by mimicking methionine restriction and increasing autophagy.
Glucosamine
- Glucosamine is another supplement that is helpful in maintaining joint health.

- It is important to have a preventive approach by supporting cartilage and collagen synthesis before getting any symptoms.
- Studies show that glucosamine is associated with reduced cardiovascular disease mortality and overall mortality.
NAC (N-Acetylcysteine)
- NAC supports glutathione synthesis, which improves functional outcomes related to inflammation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial function, muscle strength, gate speed, body composition, and metabolic profile.
- Combining glycine with NAC has multiple benefits.
- The Glycine and NAC combo may have more important effects in older individuals or those who have comorbidities that lower their glutathione levels.
- However, it should not be taken after resistance training or around high-intensity exercise because it can blunt some of the inflammatory positive response to training as well as reduce power output.
